    -n, --dry-run    Only show what would be done (default mode)
    -f, --force      Make actual changes to files

OPTIONS:
        --color <color>        Set color output mode [default: auto]
                               [possible values: always, auto, never]
    -d, --max-depth <LEVEL>    Set max depth in recursive mode

Default behavior

  • Dry-run by default.
  • Only UTF-8 valid input arguments and filenames.
  • Works on files and symlinks (ignores directories).
  • Accepts multiple files as arguments.
  • Accepts a regex to generate matches. These expressions have same limitations of regex crate. It supports capture groups.
  • If max depth is not provided to recursive mode, it is assumed infinite.
  • Does not generate backups.
  • Output is colored.
  • Ignore hidden files and directories.
